On Sunday 3rd September we will be sharing the airport site with the Emergency Services Show from 10am-4pm. The exit will be therefore be busier than normal around 4pm, but there will be police organising traffic out on to the main road, so traffic should flow. Departure will be signed and marshalled, with two exits, one for travelling north and one for travelling south.

JUST CONFIRMED – we have ROB ICKES and TREY HENSLEY playing on the Friday night.

ROB ICKES has been playing bluegrass with his much-decorated band Blue Highway for over twenty years, during which time he has been adjudged Bluegrass Dobro Player Of the year fifteen times. Rob has played on countless sessions, recording with artists such as Merle Haggard, Dierks Bentley, Patty Loveless, and Alison Krauss.TREY HENSLEY is bursting at the seams with freshness and musical excitement. His resonant baritone voice is rich, expressive, and equally at ease with classic bluegrass, traditional country, and original compositions. Raised in Jonesborough, Tennessee, Trey began playing guitar and singing when he was 10 years old. Invited by Marty Stuart and joined from the wings by Earl Scruggs, Trey Hensley landed on the Grand Old Opry when he was only 11.
